    摘要: A system for manoeuvring a boat with fenders is described. A plurality of water nozzles is provided on the boat. Further, a plurality of pumps is operated by an artificial intelligence module and/or control unit and powered by the power source 130 of the boat. The plurality of pumps is primed continuously to reduce response time to control the plurality of pumps and each of the plurality of pumps is connected to one water nozzle. A plurality of sensors is configured to monitor the state of motion of the boat. Further, an artificial intelligence module is in communication with the plurality of water nozzles, the plurality of pumps, and the plurality of sensors. The artificial intelligence module is configured to keep the boat in a stationary standstill or on a chosen course of motion.

    摘要: In collision-avoidance maneuvering in congested waters, an own ship is decelerated by astern power. The own ship is continuously navigated on a current target course with a propulsion propeller always rotated forward at the stern of the own ship. The astern power is generated as the propulsion of a propeller slipstream with rudder angles formed at a pair of right and left high-lift rudders disposed behind the propulsion propeller. In the decelerating maneuvering, the rudder angles formed at the high-lift rudders are controlled within a range from a rudder angle for applying a maximum propeller slipstream as the astern power to a rudder angle for eliminating the ahead power of the propeller slipstream, and the deceleration of the own ship is controlled by changing the astern power according to the rudder angles.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide navigation control and/or docking assist for mobile structures. A navigation control system includes a logic device, one or more sensors, one or more actuators/controllers, and modules to interface with users, sensors, actuators, and/or other modules of a mobile structure. The logic device is configured to receive navigation control parameters from a user interface for the mobile structure and perimeter sensor data from a perimeter ranging system mounted to the mobile structure. The logic device determines navigation control signals based on the navigation control parameters and perimeter sensor data and provides the navigation control signals to a navigation control system for the mobile structure. Control signals may be displayed to a user and/or used to adjust a steering actuator, a propulsion system thrust, and/or other operational systems of the mobile structure.

    摘要: Provided is a system for protecting submerged components of a watercraft from collision with a submerged object or a floor of a body of water. The system includes a depth sensor configured to measure a water depth beneath the watercraft, an actuated mechanism configured to adjust a depth of at least one of the submerged components, and a controller in communication with the depth sensor and the actuated mechanism. The controller is operable to receive the measured water depth and control the actuated mechanism to adjust the depth of the at least one submerged component as a function of the measured water depth to prevent the at least one submerged component from colliding with the submerged object or floor of the body of water.

    摘要: A collision avoidance system and method for a watercraft for computing, visualizing, programming, and executing ship and hazard avoidance. The collision avoidance system and method employs a map visualization, a linear visualization, and a courses of action visualization to automatically provide a clear visualization of threats in real time in a manner which improves operator awareness for timely decision making and avoidance actions. In this regard, the collision avoidance system and method operate to reduce unwanted or unneeded information, ensure the visualization is task oriented as opposed to function oriented, ensure the visualization is intuitive, keep the key measures of the visualization consistent, and automate the searching of hazards across all charts and automate the closest point of approach in both distance and time of nearby tracks.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to generate image data based on avoidance areas for mobile targets and/or mobile structures. A collision avoidance system includes a logic device configured to communicate with a ranging sensor and/or a speed, position, and/or orientation sensor (SPOS) mounted to a mobile structure. The logic device may be configured to determine a projected course for a mobile target detected by the ranging sensor. The system may determine one or more avoidance areas based, at least in part, on the projected course for the mobile target and a speed, position, and/or orientation of the mobile structure detected by the SPOS. The system may generate image data based, at least in part, on the projected course, the one or more avoidance areas, and the detected orientation and/or position.

    摘要: A marine hull including a hull plate manufactured from metal, a set of longitudinal reinforcements and a set of transverse reinforcements, at least one longitudinal reinforcement of the set of longitudinal reinforcements being arranged between the hull plate and at least one transverse reinforcement of the set of transverse reinforcements, and being connected to an inside of the hull plate. The marine hull is characterized in that the hull plate has a thickness that is less than 10 mm, and that the at least one longitudinal reinforcement is manufactured from the same metal as the hull plate and comprises at least one resilient segment arranged to spring in the direction transverse to the thickness of the hull plate, and that the resilient segment is arranged to bottom upon a compression that is more than 10 mm and less than 50 mm.

    摘要: A boat bumper is positioned between a nautical structure and a nautical vessel. A main body includes a concave portion and a convex portion. The concave portion abuts the nautical structure and the convex portion abuts the nautical vessel. A boat bumper can optionally include an auxiliary bumper having a first convex part and a second convex part. The main body and auxiliary bumper engage to form a macro bumper with the first convex part abutting the concave portion. Alternatively, a main body includes a male connector with a male shape and a female cavity complementarily shaped to the male shape such that the male connector of another bumper fits within the female cavity to connect the bumpers together. A male shape can be keyed and/or tapered in at least one direction.
